THAT VOTE.

DttDW Nt itco Sift ~HN ''NN " "''fN'' the bill passed, which shows Capt. Ansley, the Greenback representative from this county voted against it, and in favor of the railroads. -Picayune.
 Christ was not a PHARIsEE so he must be a devil. "Democrat or devil' is the modern way of put ting the same old argument. "Plc" takes up nearly column of his paper to get in the above para graph. The purpose is to convey the idea that I have sold out to the railroads, and am not in favor of regulation. His efforts of the last campaign are sorrowfully re- membered by the good men he de. feated in his efforts to bedaub me. We will be pleased to have him continue mud. .slinging. My reas- ons for voting against the Balch bill are given elsewhere in this is- sue. ANsLEY.
 The above from Ansley, is the tbinest evasion, as also his 'reas' ons given elsewhere" in his de- lectable sheet of last week, where in he stated it was because of the commission feature, costing S15,- 900 per annum; said he favored the Senate bill without comms- sion." This gives his reasons in Sahstaupa
 Now, to answer his insinuations, and show him up in his true colors:
 First he says--"'Pic' takes up nearly a column of his paper to get in above paragraph" We de- nounce that as untrue. The bill, being the most important before the Legislature, and having passed the House and likely to become a law, we published the synopsis as a matter of great interest to our readers: the vote we put in incl. dentally to show how Ansley voted, as we'll as the rest.
 As to his false statement about this paper "beating good men in bedaubing me- and "mud-sling ing,n we here say such utterances arc beneath our notice. We wil. lingly leave all this to the public to docide-who starts up and is a chronic mud-slnger.
 The Balch bill provides for three commissioners al S2,000 each per annum, and clerk at $500 a year, which makes a total of SI,- 300 per annum. So, Ansley's Sl5,- GOO expense per annum is myth, conjured up to deceive his con- stituency.
 As to his favoring the "Senate bill W lout a commission" If the House. by big majority. pass any biH, and the Senate has under consideration simply, but not passed, a somewhat similar bill. but with strong opposing features, then in ease the Senate passes it's bill afterward, in opposition to the House bill. it locks legislation in nine cases out of ten, so far as that measure is concerned. So, if Ansley was not favoring the rail roads, he should never have voted as he did. and then give such tlini- sy reasons. The Balch bill, against which Ansiey voted is very sImi. lar to the bill recently passed by Congress, and similar to the laws

By all means let our legislators give us the Balch bill, regulating railroads, and pass the bill calling constitutional convention, or leave this latter question to vote of the people at the next general election.

When Mir. Mel,ae introruced his bill for inc return of the cotton tax, he ought to have had some well defined plan for honest jy distributing that money among those who paid it: unless the measure is gotten up Tor inc benefit of spectators who now hold most of the receipts for this tax Besides this, he ought to be able to show some Jus tice in his proposition to give certain persons the benefit of q double portion.-Woodrufl County Videttc.
 The above editorial squib does Mir. McRae great injustice. Bro Folsom you should not throw out such broad insinuations and criti' cisms. as though you were familiar with the bill introduced by MT McRae. while your unjust words clearly prove that you are not. MT McRae's bill proposes to do the very things you say it should, but insin,utes does not, and does mol propose to give any person tue ben eft of double portion. 1t clearly says no speculator or assignee shall be paid one cent, but that the original tax payer must be paid after proper proof, and all that can not be so returned is to go into the different State treasnries. We published a full text of the bill not long since. In future, Bro. Fol som. be little more careful ahc post yourself before so harshiy criticising Tom McRae.

Why the Crow Is Black.

4. L. White, in the american Magazine.
The Indians of the extrepe North.
west had some very remarkable
legends about the creation, in which
the crow takes the leading part,
bringing order out of chaos. Per
haps the most curious was that
which accounted for the raven coat
of the crow. One night while making
q tour through his dominions, he
stopped at the house Of Can-nook,
a CHEF, and begged for lodging and
o drink of water. Can.nook offered
him bed, but, on account Of the
scarcity of water, refused to give him
anything to drink. When all the rest
we're asleep the crow got up to hunt
for the water-bucket, but was heard
by Can.nook's wife, who aroused her
husband. He, thinking that the crow
was about to escape, piled logs of
gum wood upon the fire. The crow
made desperate efforts to fly through
the hole in the roof where the smoke
escaped, but Can.nook caused the
smoke to be denser and denser, and
when the crow finally regained the
outer air he had black plumage. 1t
was previously white.

More About the Great Three C's.
Etlgefeld Adre7tiser.

Gallia diversa est 4. tres parties.
Gaul is divided into three parts, and
80 our town and community is d.
vided into three classes on the pros.
poets Of the Three Cs. Those who
are sanguine that it will be built, and
at an early day, those who believe it
possibility, or very remote proba-
bility and those who do not know or
believe anything about it, agnostic as
it were, but who only wait and wish
and pant for the work to commence.
We might name these classes the
San.guines, the Luke-warms, and the
Jerry-me-diddles. The Advertiser
wants to get square on the record as
Jerry-me-diddle from the rising of
the sun to the going down thereof.
But enough of badinage. We advise
our readers that our most intelligent
local magnates are sanguines, the
best men all along the line are san
guines. Mr.. Mclaughlin, president
OF the Newberry bank, a most level
headed man, is not only a sanguine
but an enthusiast, which is one de.
gree hotter. Mr.. Green who had
thrown up his grading contract near
the Saluda river, has been notified
by the managers of the Three C's to
commence anew, and we believe has
gone to work again, this too is en-
couraging and looks like business.
Senator Butler who to our thinking
is to be the Head Centre Of the Three
C's, so far as this end of the line is
concerned, in other words will have
it built-and who alone can lift the
Agnostics and Jerry-me.diddles up
to the light and belief which fills the
sanguil es, is still absent. When he
, returns We may know more and will
then tell more, in the meantime let
US console ourselves with the words
Of the poet that
call things come to those who wait"
and certainly we of Edge6cld, have
done our part in the waiting business.

1t is None Of their Business.
atlanta Constitutioa.

The Philadelphia Neacs is our au-
thority for the statement that the
United Presbyterian Church will not
in future aid any young men who use
tobacco.
This is not an exceptional instance.
Various religious organizations in
different localities have during the
past few years taken steps to keep
tobacco consumers out Of the minis.
try.
All this is very natural and very
wrong. 1t supports Hobbes's theory
that the natural state of mankind is
state Of war. When men become
civilized and Christianized they no
longer indulge in free fight when
ever they meet. But they do the
same thing in another way. They
seek to crush each other in political
strife and business rivalry. They do
what is infinitely meaner. They take
their supposed virtues and twist
them into scourge for the torture OF
those whose tastes and habits arc
different.
Why is it that so many narrow
minded, bitter and malignant men
are always agitating something that
they call moral reform? It is the
outgrowth of desire to make war
npon somebody. When man wants
to worry his neighbors with im2unity
be does it in the name of the Lord,
and in the guise of reformcr.
Hundreds of millions Of people
use tobacco. Among them are some
of the best men and the wisest
divines of our time. Those who dc
not like tobacco should let it alone
They have no right to abuse and leg,
islate against men who exercise their
personal right to use the weed.
If men would view these things
from a common sense standpoint
they would see that most of our al
legged reformers are trying to mind
everybody else's business but their
own. They are great nuisances just
now, but their names will be forgot
ten by the time the next generation
is ready for business. The world
has it's cranky spells, just as it has
epidemics. They run their course
and then people take rest to recu
perate for the next craze.

Keep Cool and Cut the Wires.
PhilndpZnhia Record.

1t is now nearly year since Pres.
ident Cleveland Issued his proclama-
tion ordering trespassers to remove
their wire fences inclosing the pub
lie lands. But, in spite of the efforts
of the Interior Department. most of
the fences are still standing. Since
the processes of the existing law are
too slow to break up the lawless
combinations that have taken pos
session of the public domain and in
closed it as if it had been their own,
more vigorous measures should be
put in requisition. An organized
force of cowboys would soon tear
down the fences.
